University of Huddersfield

Artificial Intelligence with Placement MSc

This course is specifically aimed at International students, supporting those wishing to gain practical work based experiential learning. Together with studying your chosen course we are offering an additional 6 month placement opportunity, making the course 18 months in length. This allows students with limited experience to put into practice the skills and techniques developed throughout the Master’s degree.

Increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can bring major social and economic benefits to the UK. Skilled experts are needed to develop AI and they are in short supply. To develop more AI, the UK will need a larger workforce with deeper AI expertise.*This course is designed to meet the demand for a new kind of IT specialist with skills and knowledge in intelligent systems.Recent developments in machine learning and the success of high profile AI applications have resulted in governments globally promoting the area as a central component of future technologies in many application areas. This course will aim to develop your knowledge and understanding to an advanced level across a range of areas including:

  • autonomous systems
  • knowledge representation and reasoning
  • data mining
  • machine learning
  • robotics

Our aim is to equip you with an understanding of the fundamental approaches to implementing intelligent behaviour in machines. This should then enable you to match applications with appropriate AI techniques for their solution, and be able to construct and configure solutions using a range of AI technologies.



Entry Requirements

Entry requirements for this course are normally:

  • A BSc or BEng Honours degree (2:1 or above) in Computing or Engineering or Scientific related subject or an equivalent professional qualification.

  • Applicants are expected to be familiar with and have some aptitude for Discrete Mathematics and Predicate Calculus.

  • Other qualifications and/or experience that demonstrate appropriate knowledge and skills at an Honours degree level - the qualification and experience should be in the area of Computer Science or Mathematics/Engineering.
